Maybe I'm missing something, but first, I will say that The Mercenaries is a great part of both Resident Evil 4 and 5. Its fun, and gives you something to do once you finish the main game. It can actually get quite addictive.

The thing I don't understand is the price point. While a U.S. date is not confirmed for the game, all major retailers list it at $39.99, the going price for new 3DS games. But why should I pay that much for what is essentially a bonus mode from older games?

It does include new maps and characters to play around with, but still, its a bonus mode from an older game. I would glady play this game, but its the price that steers me away. Thats actually the case for most 3DS games.

The only two 3DS games I own I did not pay full price for. I had some Best Buy credit which got me Street Fighter for 20$, while Amazon gave me a $25 credit, allowing me to purchase Pilotwings for fifteen bucks. Those are great prices for the games, because in my opinion neither of the two contain enough content to justify $40.

I would gladly pay $20 for The Mercenaries 3D. It also just seems stupid that they'll charge that much for what is essentially a bonus mode, when a full fledged RE title is coming out for the 3DS in the distant future. If that game happens to contain the mercenaries mode in it, along with a long story, then Mercenaries will have seemed even more ridiculous to purchase at full price.

Thats all for now. What do you think about the price of RE: M3D, or just 3DS games in general? Love you.

The Dead Island trailer was awesome. It was intense, suspenseful, and at the end of the day pretty powerful. The game is a first person game centered around melee combat. You know what I didn't see in the trailer? Any first person melee combat. I love seeing a new cool trailer for a game. The only thing I want from it is at least a snippet of gameplay. Dead Island is the latest game to follow the trend of debuting with a crazy cutscene trailer, without showing anything from the game. All that aside, this is one of the best trailers you will ever see.

Ive gone through this before. I remember seeing some intense Halo Wars trailer. It was pre-rendered and epic and made me want a Halo Movie to exist. Surely this game was going to be amazing. Then, I remembered that it was an RTS. I would've rather seen some RTS action in a trailer then some crazy CGI clip. Sure, it was an ok game, but the trailer billed it as a huge action packed adventure. To me, it was... an RTS.

Sometimes Ill let this slide. For example, the first Mass Effect 3 trailer shows no gameplay at all. But its a game we know and love. There aren't going to be any huge surprises. We know how itll play so we dont care what they show us.

Now today, the Elder Scrolls V had a proper gameplay trailer released and it was amazing. While I saw the Dead Island trailer, I was freaking out. But during the Skyrim trailer, I was freaking out waaaayyy more because I was seeing things that I can actually do. Plus that amazing music that was playing during it really set me off.

Actions speak louder than cutscenes. Showing me what Ill be doing in Skyrim made me forget about what I could possibly encounter in Dead Island.
